Rated 4 out of 5 by ITTechnician325 from It provides us with collaboration between several development teams such as design, development, and testing, although its stability could use improvement.Valuable Features:It provides us with integration throughout the complete product development process.Improvements to My Organization:With it, we have easy collaboration between several development teams such as design, development, and testing.Room for Improvement:* Import/export* StabilityUse of Solution:I've used it for three years.Deployment Issues:No issues encountered.Stability Issues:There were some issues.Scalability Issues:No issues encountered.Previous Solutions:No previous solution was used.Initial Setup:It was easy.Implementation Team:We did it in-house.ROI:Project realization has been carried out much faster.Cost and Licensing Advice:Use workgroup licenses for smaller environments.Other Solutions Considered:No because this is the defacto standard in the automotive industry.Other Advice:Plan the training and usage properly.Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:We are a business partner of IBM.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SrSolArchitect206 from It gives our team better visibility across life-cycle artifacts, but deploying the RRC add-in for browsers can be a real headache.Valuable Features:Support for text, rich text and graphical requirement documentation. Extensive traceability and analysis through artifact linking across requirements and other artifacts within the Jazz CLM solutions.Improvements to My Organization:It gives us better transparency of required changes and better visibility for the team across life-cycle artifacts.Room for Improvement:There's ongoing stability issues with the browser UI. Some cases of illogical restrictions on artifact views, RFEs, have been submitted to the vendor and are currently pending review by the development team.Use of Solution:I've used it for five years.Deployment Issues:In certain instances of restrictive IT networks, with lack of elevated permissions for most users, deploying the RRC add-in for browsers can be a real headache, requiring multiple cycles of un-installing and reinstalling.Stability Issues:No issues encountered.Scalability Issues:No issues encountered.Customer Service:Very good customer support. Timely responses and updates.Technical Support:Very good technical support. Timely responses and updates.Previous Solutions:We used Legacy IBM Rational requirements management solution, RequisitePro.Initial Setup:It's slightly more complex than a Tomcat configuration due to a WAS and multi-server Jazz application configuration.Implementation Team:It was done in-house.Cost and Licensing Advice:Definitely not the cheapest solution when it comes to licensing and at times confusing becuase of the various types offered (meaning what features and capabilities are available by type). Much more streamlined than years ago.Other Solutions Considered:As a consultant, I was not part of the evaluation or decision making team. The solution was already in place.Other Advice:Try staying close to out-of-the-box in the initial usage, grow into more complex configurations and usage models if possible. If committing to a complex SDLC and automated life-cycle tools, then invest in education for all users. Do not waste the investment by assuming that the solution will be utilized by all without training.Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
